This design competition is held in conjunction with a IND 2410 Industrial Design II coursework project. It is open to everyone (not limited to CUNY’s City Tech and Brooklyn communities). Excellent designs will be recommended to present in a conference/startup event in the future.

CUNY City Tech’s Industrial Design Technology Programat Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology Presents

Design Competition for Preventing the Coronavirus Disease and Spending Time Usefully during the Stay-at-home Era

Call for innovative ideas: any innovation or design for a product that can help to prevent coronavirus disease (masks, robots, drones, shields, bottles of hand sanitizers, devices, sensors etc.) or to spend time usefully/productively at home during staying home (gym exercise tools etc.). Any stages of the development process (brainstorming, hand drawing, computer graphics, 3D modeling) are welcome.

1. Sketch (hand drawing) your idea on a paper, 2. Take a picture, and 3. Send the image file to Professor Masato R. Nakamura ( mnakamura@citytech.cuny.edu ) by 5pm, Friday, 4/30/2020 * You will have a chance to present your idea among design professionals and industrial design students as well as have feedback from them.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PROJECT

• Based on the discussion that we did in an online class, we want to redesign/reinvent existing products or create a new product.

• Any innovation or industrial design for a product that can help preventing coronavirus disease (mask, robot, drone, shield, bottle of hand sanitizer, devise, sensor)

• Start brainstorming, hand drawing, 3D modeling, then we will have presentations

• Schedule:

✓ 4/02 Brainstorming

✓ 4/16 Hand drawing

✓ 4/23 3D modeling

✓ 4/30 Presentations

❖ This will be a coursework project and open to City Tech community. Excellent design can be submitted to a conference/startup event in the future, as well as filed as a provisional patent through the CUNY Technology Commercialization Office (TCO)
